Yuan Shi Tian

Chapter 344: Master Wen is old
----

"Wen Yuanming!!"

Under the gaze of everyone in Lingyan Pavilion, after Meng Zifei slowly said this taboo name, the atmosphere in Zhou Za almost froze.

Several important ministers looked at each other in confusion, and then looked at Xun Shaoyu's unpredictable expression. They all lowered their heads and did not dare to speak, lest they accidentally get into trouble.

It should be noted that Wen Yuanming's identity was extremely sensitive at this time. Regent Xun Shaoyu had never concealed his dissatisfaction with the old master, and few civil and military officials in the court knew about it.

Meng Zifei recommended this person at this time. No matter what the considerations were, his courage alone was enough to impress the important officials.

"Wen Yuanming!" As expected, Xun Shaoyu showed a hint of dissatisfaction on his face. He suddenly tapped the long case with his fingertips, and a surge of anger was about to break out in his heart.

But looking at Meng Zifei, who was straightly processing the processor in the hall, and seeing his serious expression, the anger in his heart dissipated for some reason.

Immediately, Xun Shaoyu shook his head nonchalantly, and did not comment on Meng Zifei's recommendation. He asked several important ministers: "I don't know if there are any candidates who haven't mentioned it yet. Let's play it out before the court. Let's go over the details together." ?”

"This……"

The regent's attitude was ambiguous, making it difficult for several important ministers to understand. These people looked confused and looked at each other, completely helpless.

Seeing that none of the ministers dared to express their opinions outright because of fear, Xun Shaoyu felt both happy and worried in his heart.

What I'm happy about is that his authority has just been established, and he already has the authority that all ministers can bow to. There is no dissatisfaction in the Lu Kingdom.

"Worry" is too authoritative, causing important ministers to take his attitude into consideration and not dare to speak out.The so-called loyal advice that is offensive to the ears is precisely because it is offensive to the ears, so that we can see the loyalty of the ministers.

Blindly echoing what others say will only do bad things, and this will be the heaviest blow to Xun Shaoyu, who aspires to the world.

Of course, for a monarch of a country, there is nothing wrong with one person's prestige making the officials sigh.But everything is too much and too little is too much. If the ministers are afraid of the king and treat the military affairs of a country as nothing, it will only cause harm to the princes and the country, and to the people.

Xun Shaoyu was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "You can just say what you want without any worries!"

However, even if Xun Shaoyu was like this, all the important ministers looked calm and stood in the palace without saying a word.

It should be noted that the relationship between this is very important. Wen Yuanming has experienced four dynasties and has a very high prestige among the people of Lu State. The regent has always been afraid of Wen Yuanming's power.

If it weren't for the Taoist Shangqing Palace behind Wen Yuanming, it would be a behemoth that cannot be ignored, and people would have to be a little afraid of it.I'm afraid that Wen Yuanming would have died a long time ago, with not much bones left.

Now that Wen Yuanming was able to escape, it was also because Xun Shaoyu was trapped in the affairs of Lu State and had not yet settled the civil strife between Gongzi Ze and Gongzi Yang. He was unable to deal with it for a while, allowing Wen Yuanming to have a moment of leisure.

However, this does not mean that Xun Shaoyu has no grudges and no desire to settle scores.

Of course, given Si Kou Meng Zifei's character, his recommendation may have no selfish motives.Just letting Wen Yuanming take control of the military again was undoubtedly a gamble for Xun Shaoyu, the regent.

After all, the relationship between the old master and Xun Shaoyu has always been extremely tense. The two were extremely unhappy with each other, and they were once at war with each other.If it weren't for Xun Shaoyu's superior skills in the end and suppressing Wen Yuanming's life, it was not impossible for the two to meet in battle.

However, the officials of the government and the public were always aware that Wen Yuanming, an old master, had a profound background and was not an easy person to deal with.For such a character, temporary success or failure is just a temporary success or failure. As long as he is not truly removed, he will always be a barb buried in the flesh. If he is not pulled out, he will always be buried in the flesh.Even if it is pulled out by force, it will inevitably bring out a little bloodshotness and leave scars that are difficult to erase.

The appointment and handling of such people should never be taken lightly.

Although Xun Shaoyu had deliberately reduced Wen Yuanming's influence since he became regent.Wen Yuanming was also very knowledgeable and handed over the military power. However, Wen Yuanming's potential power in the government and the public was still extremely huge.

If Wen Yuanming gets help out of thin air, who knows if he can take advantage of the opportunity and ride the wind for [-] miles?
"Regent, apart from Grand Master Wen, there is no truly suitable person in the entire court!" Meng Zifei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the palace.

Facing the pressure bursting from Xun Shaoyu's eyes, Meng Zifei said in a deep voice: "Young Master, you have Gong Yuzhao sitting in the army, and Young Master is supported by two elders from the Zheng Kingdom. They are both a hard nut to crack."

"In this case, besides Taishi Wen and Grand Master Fu, who else in our country, Lu, can take on the important task of quelling this civil strife?"

These words hit the nail on the head, and Xun Shaoyu's expression suddenly moved.

After the turmoil of the Gong clan, Xun Taichang was the only one left among the Xun clan elders who were at the level of Wu Shengren.The remaining elders who were at the level of martial arts saints were all lost along with Nanyang Yeting.

Nowadays, there are only four great martial arts saints in Lu State: Xun Shaoyu, Wen Yuanming, Xun Taichang, and Gong Yuzhao.

However, Gong Yuzhao fully supported Gongzi Ze's succession, and he can be said to be a die-hard supporter of Gongzi Ze.At the same time, Wen Yuanming and Xun Taichang were not in peak condition. The injuries they sustained in the battle with the Martial Saints had reduced their combat power to almost the Grand Master level, which required a lot of energy to cultivate.

At this moment, in Lu State, only Xun Shaoyu maintained peak combat power.But today is different from the past. Xun Shaoyu is concerned with the safety of a country, and he cannot personally lead an army on an expedition as he did in the past.

At this time, the two martial saints Wen Yuanming and Xun Taichang were of extraordinary importance to the Lu State, and could even play a role in containing the three major martial saints.

The important ministers present were all wise and knowledgeable people, but Meng Zifei understood a little bit.

Xun Shaoyu smiled lightly and said, "Grand Master... I can't bear to work so hard for Lu Guo!"

Seeing the sudden change in the expressions of the officials in the palace, Xun Shaoyu slowly stood up and said, "However, Sikou's advice is reasonable, and I have learned something."

He looked down at the ministers in the palace, silently watching the surprised expressions on the faces of the important ministers, and a hint of pride quietly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

…………

Wenfu, the waterside pavilion in the inner courtyard!
Since hearing that the mansion has lost power, all the servants and servants in the mansion have deeply understood why there is so little traffic and horses in front of the door.Wen Mansion, which used to be prosperous in the past, has been in a rapid decline both internally and externally since the old Taishi retreated into seclusion and became indifferent to worldly affairs.

With the old master's strict orders, the Wen family members unconsciously kept a low profile during these days, which was very different from the past.

"Master..." I saw a man in soap clothes walking in a hurry. After walking straight into the inner courtyard, he saw Si Ziqi sitting in the water pavilion and quickly knelt down.

Because Wen Yuanming had no children in his life and only had one legitimate daughter alive, Si Ziqi, as the son-in-law of the old master, was naturally the head of the Wen family.At a time when the old master was in seclusion and ignored trivial matters, Si Ziqi was the well-deserved head of the Wen Mansion.

Si Ziqi was dressed in plain clothes, cast a glance at the hurriedly dressed man in soap, and said impatiently, "Why are you in such a panic, the sky won't fall down today!"

The man in soap clothes whispered: "Master, we received an urgent message. Someone in the court sent a letter, saying that the regent and the ministers were discussing today, and Lord Sikou wholeheartedly recommended the master of the old family to take charge of the army. The regent was overjoyed after hearing the advice, and he went to the ministers in front of everyone. I gave him the honor of being brave enough to speak out, and gave him a generous gift of Meng Sikou."

"What? Generosity?" Hearing the news suddenly, Si Ziqi was startled, and said in surprise, "Then... the Regent, did you really say that?"

You know, Xun Shaoyu actually rewarded Meng Zifei heavily for the first time, and the tendency in this was not concealed at all.This attitude was simply made clear to Wen Yuanming, letting Wen Yuanming know Xun Shaoyu's sincerity at this moment.

The news came so suddenly that Si Ziqi was a little overwhelmed.

The man in soap clothes said solemnly: "Master, this is from the relationship between the DPRK, China and Lao, and it is almost accurate."

"The opportunity is almost settled!" Si Ziqi looked happy, his heart suddenly moved, and he turned around and asked: "But why did Sikou recommend the old patriarch?"

The man in soap clothes said: "I'd like to report to the family master, I heard that the situation in the northwest is unfavorable. There are martial saints on both sides, Gongzi Ze and Gongziyang. The regent's army has lost its troops and has been unable to move. Therefore, it is necessary to ask the old family master to come out and sit in command for ten years. The center of the ten thousand army, clearing up the chaos in the northwest."

Wen Yuanming's potential power is huge and terrifying. It can be seen from this that how important the Lingyan Pavilion discussion between Xun Shaoyu and several ministers was, it was actually said in the mouth of the man in soap. What it represented was The meaning is really mind-numbing.

Hearing this, Si Ziqi sneered again and again and said: "Why has my attitude changed so much? It turns out that the chaos in the northwest requires my father's support, so that my father can bleed and fight for his country. It seems that if it were not for the constraints of the northwest, my Wen family would be in trouble." It’s going to be a downfall from now on!”

Si Ziqi finally understood Xun Shaoyu's character, he was selfish to the core.

As long as there are people who are useful to Xun Shaoyu, no matter how domineering and domineering they are, Xun Shaoyu will turn a blind eye to them, greeting them and caring for them in every possible way.

However, once this person is no longer of use to Xun Shaoyu, if he is really sensible, it is best to stay away from him and avoid letting Xun Shaoyu think of this person.If you think you have some merits and dare to ask for rewards in front of Xun Shaoyu, you will die sooner or later without knowing how.

Thinking of this, Si Ziqi sighed unconsciously: "The regent is such a person. When he needs it, he will show his attitude very lowly. When it is not needed, he will abandon it like a piece of shit!"

An old and majestic voice slowly came from the main room in the inner courtyard. As the door slowly opened, Wen Yuanming stepped out of the house unhurriedly: "Only you can see the temperament of our regent. Come out!"

The old master pushed open the door and said softly: "Being mean and unkind, being able to put down your face and pick up your face, this is the character of a hero."

"Father!" Si Ziqi looked at Wen Yuanming in surprise, especially because Wen Yuanming's majestic aura was as majestic as the ocean, and he seemed much calmer than when he was in seclusion.

"You... what are you..." Si Ziqi looked at the old master in confusion, feeling dumbfounded.

Wen Yuanming smiled lightly and didn't explain too much, everything was said without saying anything.

At that time, the old master's injuries were indeed very serious, and his combat power had indeed fallen to the bottom.But based on the old master's accumulation over the years, he also has one or two rare magical medicines in his treasury, which are enough to restore his own injuries.

Although recovery time is needed during this period, with the secret teachings of the old Taishi's Taoist secret teachings of magical powers and mysteries, one or two months at most is enough for recovery.

The reason why Wen Yuanming was willing to hand over power was because of the situation at that time.If Xun Shaoyu does not need his presence, no matter how strong he is, it will trigger Xun Shaoyu's strong murderous intention, which is simply not worth the gain.

It was precisely because he had seen through Xun Shaoyu's temperament and felt that Xun Shaoyu was simply a material for the princes that the old master chose to retreat safely and not fight to the death with Xun Shaoyu, completely tearing off the last layer of face. .

It can be said that the friendship between the monarch and his ministers has been fulfilled, and a bit of affection and a bit of leeway have been left.

Although Xun Shangguan and Xun Shaoyu had almost completely different ways of dealing with the world, the two monarchs also had different governance philosophies.But princes are all selfish by nature, and few can escape this framework.

Moreover, in the eyes of the old master, Xun Shaoyu's self-interested nature was beyond imagination, and even Xun Shangguan was not as good as Xun Shaoyu's sinister city.

After all, the dangerous city and palace of the ministers is the cause of disaster, and the unpredictable temperament of the monarch is the harbinger of the rise and prosperity of a country.

"Since the regent has decided to use me, if I don't leave the seclusion at this time, how long will it take?" Wen Yuanming moved his beard and said softly: "The country of Lu needs me at this moment, and I have no choice but to shoulder my responsibility."

The words of the old master made Si Ziqi silent. After a long time, he said dryly: "Is it possible that just because he is the regent and the new king of the country, he can kill our family and demote us because of his heart?"

Xun Shaoyu's deeds of abandoning him as if they were worn out shoes one moment, and cherishing them as if they were the apple of his eye the next moment really gave Si Ziqi a rebellious mind.

Only the old master seemed extremely calm, and his mentality seemed to indicate that he was neither happy with things nor sad with himself.This is only when you reach Wen Yuanming's level, you can deeply understand the truth. A person is not afraid of being used by others, but he is afraid of not being worthy of being used.

If you have no use value, don't blame others for throwing them away like worn out shoes!
Wen Yuanming had a smile on his face and whispered to himself: "This is not a simple matter of life and death, but the regent's royal power."

He glanced at the man in soap clothes and said, "Get ready. I'm going to Yeting to meet the regent and ask for a tassel to go to the northwest."

The man in soap clothes retreated silently, leaving Si Ziqi looking at Wen Yuanming in surprise, at a loss for his decision.Although he understood the dangers of Xun Shaoyu's character, Wen Yuanming felt a sense of appreciation for him.

Wen Yuanming went through four dynasties, and if we include Xun Shaoyu's dynasty, he went through the fifth dynasty.Among the princes that the old master had experienced, Xun Shaoyu was number one in terms of cold and ruthless nature.

"Yuan Ming is old, can he still eat?"
